Konami has said the European Metal Gear Online beta will run from 21st April to 6th June.
The client will be available to download from 17th April, as Sony told us earlier.
Two of the five maps from the full game will be available to mess around on: Blood Bath and Groznyi Grad.
The former is two-tiered scenario, while the latter is that big (and fantastically named) Shagohod complex from MGS3 that has human catapults to throw you around.
The other three joining these at launch are Ambush Alley with its trenches and sandbags; Midtown Maelstrom with its Middle Eastern alleyways; and Urban Ultimatum with its rooftops.
Metal Gear Online will be released alongside Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on 12th June around the world.
It lets 16 of you fire bullets at each other online, in the hope that one will penetrate and cause massive internal bleeding and lead to death. And then respawn.
There are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture Base and Sneaking missions. It's plenty of fun, too, as you can find out in our first impressions of Metal Gear Online.

Ben Heck is truly the modding god. Not only has he brought back old gaming machines back to life with newly refreshed look, hes also made a one-handed controller and has even stepped up with transforming a full next-gen console into laptops! But his latest achievement is a PlayStation 3 Laptop! It took 14 on and off months to build this masterpiece.
Want this?! You can! This is the only one Ben will make but it is being auctioned off for charity. More information to come.
Specs:
- Original 60 gig PS3 model with backwards compatibility.
- 17" HDTV 720p screen, with HDMI connection. (Same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
- Built-in keyboard and stereo audio amplifier.
- Measures 17" x 13.75" x 3" (actually thinner than a stock PS3) and weighs 16 pounds!

News/release from Yan2yan
Yan2yan us a lib to enable you to better manage the time in your homebrews!
Installation:
- Extract the contents of the archive in the folder containing pspdev.
To include the Lib:
Code:
# Include <timeManager.h>
For the compilation, add to the line LIBS:
Code:
- LTimeManager
The functions:
Code:
Timer_start void ();
Timer_reset void ();
Timer_startPause void ();
Timer_endPause void ();
U64 timer_getTimeMicroSec ();
U64 timer_getTimeMilliSec ();
U64 timer_getTimeSec ();
Using abstract:
We must start the timer via function timer_start ().
To return it to 0, we must use our timer_reset ().
To recover the time elapsed since the start of the timer, there are 3 methods for retrieving the time in seconds, milliseconds or microseconds (these functions begin with timer_getTime ...., you should not miss)
Then there are also functions to manage a break, but as I have not yet tested, I can not talk too much about it at this time
In theory, the sample should help you more deeply.
If you encounter any bugs, please report them
And if you have any ideas of améliroations is the same price!

Net Asia Co Ltd has announced results of its survey on the use of portable game consoles. The company conducted the Internet survey in Japan using mobile phones and received responses from 401 mobile phone users ranging from the age of 15 to 29.
Asked what portable game console they currently use the most, most male respondents (42.0%) cited Sony Computer Entertainment Inc's (SCE) "PlayStation Portable (PSP)" (excluding responses of "No specific console"). Second most cited (30.3%) was Nintendo Co Ltd's "Nintendo DS Lite," followed by the same Nintendo's "Nintendo DS" (16.8%).
Meanwhile, results were completely different with female respondents. Most respondents named the Nintendo DS Lite (52.2%) and the Nintendo DS (27.4%). These Nintendo DS-related two models constituted roughly 80% of all responses from female samples. Female respondents who answered the PSP, which was most popular among male respondents, only accounted for less than 10%.
When asked how often they use game consoles, most responses (36.6%) said "less than 1 day a week." Of the respondents who said they use game consoles more than once a week, "almost every day," "2 to 3 days a week," "4 to 5 days a week" and "1 day a week" accounted for 24.6, 15.1, 12.5 and 11.2%, respectively.
As for how long they use the console for videogames per day, most respondents (28.9%) said "1 hour" during weekdays, followed by "less than 15 minutes" (22.4%), "2 hours" (18.1%) and "30 minutes" (16.8%). Respondents who play portable videogames for "3 hours" to "more than 5 hours" per day totaled 13.8%.
When it comes to weekends, they generally play videogames longer than during weekdays, but most respondents (21.6%) still said "1 hour" as in weekdays. Responses of "3 hours," "2 hours" and "more than 5 hours" reached 18.5, 18.1 and 10.3%, respectively.
To a question asking if there is any variation in the frequency and time of playing videogames with portable consoles compared with a year ago, most general responses (33.9%) were "decreased," whereas 22.2% of all respondents said "increased."
Moreover, when the company asked where they use portable game consoles (multiple answers allowed), the majority (81.5%) answered "my room." Limited to males, in particular, the ratio rose to 87.4%. Next most cited was "the living room in my house" (50.4%).
Based on these results, Net Asia analyzed most people use their portable game consoles at home. Other responses included "train" (14.2%), "a fiend's/acquaintance's house" (11.6%), "outside home" (10.3%) and "car" (6.5%).

have more good news to report today – the system software update will also add DTS-HD Master Audio output for Blu-ray videos, which means the high-definition visuals of Blu-ray will now be matched with the highest quality audio for the ultimate movie-watching experience on PS3.
DTS-HD Master Audio is literally bit-for-bit identical to the studio master recording and makes movie soundtracks and sound effects truly come to life. The technology delivers audio at the incredibly high rate of 24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray disc, which is significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio also offers 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths, so you’ll be totally immersed in the sound. The firmware update will add DTS-HD High Resolution Audio as well, which is a similar output technology that requires less disc space. You can read more about both codecs here.
A lot of you, particularly the home theatre enthusiasts and audiophiles out there, have been asking us for this capability, and we can’t wait until you have an opportunity to pop in a compatible Blu-ray video to test it out for yourself.

2007 was a pretty incredible year for PSP, wasn't it? It featured some fantastic games, such as Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, Jeanne d'Arc, and more. Unfortunately, too few actually went out to buy these games.
Next-Gen compiled a list of the bestselling games from 2007, and PSP exclusives managed to get zero games on their list of 100 games. (Data is compiled from the US and UK. Japan is not included.) That means no PSP games managed to break 460k sales (the total of the 100th ranked game) in all of 2007.
Is piracy making a significant dent on PSP software sales? We'd say "yes." No wonder Sony is asking about the homebrew situation; and no wonder the PSP library for the rest of the year is so slim -- publishers have been burned.

It's been a long time for both PSP Earth and myself to do anything with the PSP. As i have only just recently picked up another PSP as i sold mine due to need of money! 
Anyway, i have myself a PSP now and i hope to start developing a new version of PSP Earth as soon as possible!
It will include a new GUI, more webcams, information and weather reports, so not a huge step forwards but in time this will be only a small amount of what you can do.
Stick around and hopefully experience the rebirth of this simple but yet unique app!

Rockstar has appealed to the Australian government to introduce an R18+ rating for the region.
Its comments follow the decision to cut Grand Theft Auto IV in order that it meet the current MA15+ upper-limit so it can go on sale.
"We strongly support the [Office of Film and Literature Classification ] and will continue to work within their guidelines; however, we believe the government needs to bring games in line with other media by introducing an R18+ rating, or edits to games will continue to be necessary," said Rockstar in a statement.
"We encourage consumers to let their politicians know that they support an R18+ rating for games."
Rockstar has reassured those worried that cuts to GTA IV will not compromise the quality of the game nor significantly change the experience.
"While there are some minor differences between the Australian and US/EU versions, they are not significant and we do not believe they take away from the level of scope and detail that make GTA IV such an incredible experience," the publisher stated.
"We would not release the game in Australia if we believed these differences compromised the quality of the game in any way."
Grand Theft Auto IV was given an 18 certificate in the UK for having saucy and violent content.

One of the biggest complaints about Factor 5's PlayStation 3 debut title appears to have been addressed. Sony Japan provided first details today on a free update for Lair, and included in the bullet points is the option for analog controls!
The update will also offer the ability to show a targeting icon, and Dual Shock 3 rumble support.
Sony is making a few additional downloads available for the game as well. Lair owners will be able to download the Wind Dragon and Poison Dragon for use in all stages. All PS3 owners will have access to a couple of themes which can be used to spice up the system's main interface. These downloads will also be free.
The new downloads will arrive in Japan on the 17th, and presumably throughout the world at around the same time.

Konami Japan appears to be blocking outside attempts to sign-up for the Metal Gear Online beta test.
Those trying have suddenly found the Japanese site off limits, suggesting the developer is trying to keep a lid on the amount of people involved.
If you already have a code, your position may be less set-in-stone than you think - Konami could go on to deny all Western-originating IP addresses from taking part.
However, this would contradict comments made by series overlord Hideo Kojima, who flaunted the beta as a chance to gain worldwide feedback on what each territory wants.
Konami Europe was unavailable for comment.
The Metal Gear Online beta kicks off on 17th April, with the full game set to launch alongside MGS4 on 12th June.
MGO is a multiplayer spin-off to the Metal Gear series rather than an online side-order for the latest instalment. It aims to stand on its own two feet by offering ongoing downloadable content, and may be digitally distributed in the future.
Pop over to our first impressions of Metal Gear Online to see why fans of shooters should keep their non-patch covered eye on it.

Though Amazon already spoiled the Metal Gear Solid 4 Standard Edition box-art surprise three days ago, Konami just sent us the North American Limited Edition packaging featuring the grizzled visage of our favorite mulleted (and now mustachioed!) sneaker, Solid Snake and his arch-nemesis Liquid Ocelot. We've also got final pricing here: Standard Edition will go for an unsurprising $60 while the Limited Edition – packing two "making of" documentaries and the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots soundtrack – for $85 [£43].
But, what's this? That Limited Edition will be even more limited in North America, available exclusively at everyone's favorite (read: no one's favorite) game retailer: GameStop. Maybe, if you're really lucky, you'll get to purchase one of their "Limited Edition" pre-opened shelf copies, with free hand grease and hard-to-remove sticker.

Various European retailers are showing listings for a Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 bundle. Euro retailer Bart Smit lists "Playstation 3 Gta-4 Pack" above the regular and special editions of the game. Other retailers are stating for fact the bundle is definitely coming to Europe. Sony Europe has called this "rumour and speculation." We'll call it "obvious and probable."

Sony has released a cool video that walks eager PS3 fans through the flashy new PlayStation Store.
Grace Chen, senior manager of the PlayStation Store, runs through the new menus, showing off its new-found fluidity thanks the Store no longer running via a web browser.
She also shows off a brilliant new 'Preview' option that allows you to see video and screens of titles within the Store before making the purchase. Nice.
Take a look at the video on the official PlayStation Blog.
The new Store, along with firmware update 2.30, is expected out on April 15.

BBC technology journalist Darren Waters has explained the thinking behind the decision to bring the iPlayer to Wii - adding it's "almost inevitable" the service will also make it to PS3.
In a post on his blog Waters wrote, "How ironic that it is the Nintendo Wii, and not the PlayStation 3 nor Xbox 360, that becomes the first of the current generation of consoles to have a truly dynamic range of online video content... [The announcement] makes something of a mockery claims by Sony and Microsoft that their consoles are the true multimedia machines."
So why aren't the Wii's rival machines getting iPlayer too? Waters quotes Erik Huggers, future media and technology group controller at the BBC, as saying, "If you want to get on the PlayStation or Xbox, they want control of the look, the feel and the experience; they want it done within their shop, and their shop only."
Waters continues, "Reading between the lines it would seem Microsoft was unwilling to work with the BBC unless it was given more control over how the content was accessed and presented inside Xbox Live.
"It seems more puzzling for Sony to take this approach. It has said often that PS3 is an "open platform" and all it would take is a small update to let gamers access iPlayer in the web browser."
Such an update is likely to appear in the future, according to Waters: "I think this is almost inevitable - and so Sony gamers shouldn't be too distraught."

The new PS3 firmware version 2.30, which is expected to bring with it the lush new PS Store, looks to be making a global appearance on April 15.
Sony of Japan revealed earlier today that it would be releasing the new firmware, along with the new PS Store, in that territory on April 15, with SCEE expected to make a Euro announcement later today.
But it would appear that the firmware launch won't just be limited to Japan, as digital audio company DTS, confirms that its new Blu-ray surround sound trickery, DTS-HD Master Audio, will be available on PS3 via a firmware update on that same day.
"The new PS3 with DTS-HD Master Audio will be available by simply downloading the upcoming firmware upgrade on April 15th, 2008," reads the press release.
"DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master at super high variable bit rates (up to 24.5 Mbps on Blu-ray Discs)," it adds, for the audiophiles of you.
"This bit stream is so fast and the transfer rate so high that it can deliver 7.1 audio channel, 96k/24-bit sound identical to the original studio master," which is a good thing, we understand.
Look out for that SCEE announcement later this afternoon.
